A doctor has revealed that drinking coffee in the morning could be the secret to living a longer life.
According to top cardiologist Dr Aurelio Rojas, those who have a cup first thing have a longer life expectancy and are less likely to suffer a heart attack.
In his video, Dr Rojas explained that consuming caffeine after 12pm could disrupt our natural circadian rhythm, counteracting any potential health benefits.
“Drinking coffee in the afternoon seems to disrupt our circadian rhythm and the secretion of hormones that regulate our rest, such as melatonin or cortisol,” he said, adding that this ‘increases stress levels.
“So yes, enjoy your coffee first thing in the morning,” he continued.
Coffee beans are also high in potassium and magnesium which are vital for regulating blood pressure and blood sugar.
